American Jewish Committee: President Putin suggesting that Russian Federation minorities, be they Ukrainian, Tatar, or Jewish, were behind U.S. election meddling is eerily reminiscent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He should clarify his comments at the earliest opportunity.

In court today, Ruban, accused of arms trafficking and plotting assassinations of Ukraine's leadership, says he was merely the driver of the vehicle where the weapons were found; it belongs to someone else.

Ruban: I know Valery Shashkin, who belongs to the organization "Battalion fraternity". Also Oleg Mezintsev was assistant to MP Savchenko. I do not know the other. But I understand that I know some others under other names (about other members of ring accused in plot)
